Poll: unstoppable object meets unmovable object

[Eliam_Dar]

You wanna know what happens?
Well, what actually happens is a secret contained below.

Spoiler: This'll make your head explode

They switch roles.

that cannot happen, you are assuming that the force is transfered, which in that case will make the unmovable object to start moving, thus changing that condition.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

The only unstoppable object is an immovable object. They can't meet at all.

Did you mean unstoppable force?

Yes, that is what he means. At least, that is what I presumed what he meant.

if they meet (taking the OP specific sentence) they cannot be the same. Force on the other hand requires mass, which will grant certain credibility to the OP, but yeah, it should have been force to avoid confusion

Thats how I was born

 

[martin's a madman]

As long as it doesn't stop, it is still unstoppable, so... it goes UP!

 

[LeonLethality]

Who is to say the unmovable object is solid if it is a gas the unstoppable object will go right through it and the unmovable object will stay in place.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

this is making me remember a discussion I had with a friends about Zeno's paradoxes... yes we are that geek

 

[Eliam_Dar]

Who is to say the unmovable object is solid if it is a gas the unstoppable object will go right through it and the unmovable object will stay in place.

due to the nature of gas, gas itself (of any kind) cannot be unmmovable... at least while remaining on that state. But its a good point.

Chuck Norris doesn't hit himself...end of discussion.

Not if the universe suddenly becomes mirrored in a span of time shorter than the Planck Time.
Either way here's another theory: The unstoppable one (object or force, although one doesn't exist without the other so that point is moot) moves onto the unmovable one and absorbs it, becoming part of the unstoppable because the only possible unstoppable force is a black hole, so the unmovable never has to move because it remains fixed once it enters the black hole and the black hole is able to go on it's merry way.

 

[RatRace123]

It would be a stalemate.

 

[Twilight_guy]

A paradox tears the universe asunder and everything is destroyed. You don't want to see it... it's nasty.

 

[benoitowns]

This is like the stone analogy with god, which asks if god can create a stone so heavy he cant move it. very interesting

well it was just a theory

 

[fletch_talon]

Immovable Object = impossible to move.
Unstoppable Object = impossible to stop.

So unless the unstoppable object can change direction or pass through the immovable object they can't both exist.

If the unstoppable object can be halted by the immovable one then its not an unstoppable object.
If the immovable object can be shifted by the unstoppable one then its not an immovable object.

Explosion, duh. or one of them will move or stop disproving the others name. With every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

will have to check on your first solution, since it doesn't make much sense to me, since the force and the object wont be on the same universe (at least for that small period of time) - feel free to correct me here -

about your second solution, yup, the blackhole is indeed a close definition an ustoppable force (at least per this universe standars), any object capured by the black hole will remain unmmovable in relation to the black hole, but not in relation with the universe thus conserving motion, but the example refers to linear motion (at least I am assuming so), and the act of absorbing it is changing the conditions again. But a solution would be to move the universe (at least to fit the example) making the universe fixed to the unmmovable object, but once the force meets the object, the universe moves, making the force unstoppable and the object unmmovable at the same time...

 

[NeutralDrow]

The only unstoppable object is an immovable object. They can't meet at all.

Did you mean unstoppable force?

Yes, that is what he means. At least, that is what I presumed what he meant.

In that case, the unstoppable force wins. The result is called a black hole.

 

[Sacman]

It would bounce. It hasn't stopped, and the unmovable object hasn't moved.

when something bounces it stops for a fraction of a second...
I say nothing will happen because neither exist.

 

[smithy1234]

It's an irresistible force not an unstoppable object.

OT: They both blow up and candy reigns down from the heavens, same thing that happens when you divide by zero.

Who gives a fuck!
